Time Savers for NVC, plus Knowing your Case #

[sanctifyer 1]

Do the barcodes on these forms that are generated work?

I can't get the DS-230 coversheet to open

To answer the question about the bar codes, I just compared the ones I got from the NVC to the ones on this site. The Barcodes look the same EXCEPT that the ones from NVC are bigger than what is generated here.

Also, the stars on the Barcode sheets are different. NVC has the 5-star and what we have here is a 6-star. On top of that the two stars at the top right corner are missing on JAME'S Shortcuts.

I sent in all the I-864 package by using the JAME'S Shortcuts but on second thought, I've mailed in all the NVC generated barcodes to avoid complications. Better safe than sorry!

There won't be any complications. The barcode sheet is a simple mechanism to ascertain the case number nothing more. As long as the case number is there bright and bold written on the sheet, there should be no problems.

Remember, The Shortcuts are a tried and tested method over a year old now.

What's going on with the NVC address for the AoS Fee Bill? This is a bit weird. In James' timesavers, the address to which he said to send the AoS Fee Bill matched what was on both my AoS Fee Bill and the return envelope.

However, the .doc file has a completely different address, which means the form needs to be corrected, doesn't it? Or does it? The address on the packet scans in post 22 of this thread have the same address as the .doc file. This was posted a couple months ago, but notes that it was resurrected from the archives.

So should we amend the AoS Fee Bill file? Has anyone lately received an AoS Fee Bill that had what appears to be the old address? What shall be the verdict of the VJ court?

Jenny, when you say that the "form has been changed in other ways also", are you talking about the I-864 itself? If so, in what ways? Do you know specific questions/pages in the form? I guess as long as it's not the signed page, we can just swap the pages in and out, but yeah, would definitely be curious to know exactly what changes you've observed. Maybe we can still jump the gun a little bit. ttyl,

Just had call from my daughter saying she received the I-864 package on Saturday. She used James Shortcuts and had already filled in hers - photocopied 3 years tax returns etc. However the new form she just received only requires the last 12 months info and the form has changed in other ways also - so she now has to scrap the previous one and start again!

Sometimes it doesn't pay to jump the gun......

Hello,

I tried to create a barcode on www.idautomation.com, but it does not seem to work anymore. Has someone else experienced the same problem?

When you say not working...what exactly is not happening when you have tried?

[phirephly 0]

Worked fine for me just a few days ago. I made the barcode for my AoS Fee Bill and it matched up with the real one that they sent me. I think the thin bars are about one pixel too big (or the space between them), but the fat/skinny sequence matches perfectly for me, having followed the directions precisely. ttyl,

The barcode appears as a big red "X". Any idea?

[phirephly 0]

That's the broken image icon in ie. That means that your browser couldn't find the image at the location referenced. I'm seeing the same thing here now. Looks like the host is up (bcgen.com), but that the port isn't answering right now. Maybe the service is borked for a bit. Unless someone here knows the people that run it or want to shoot them an email, we'll just have to wait for them to notice or to fix it, I guess. ttyl,

OK thank you.

I'm hoping someone can help me I'm trying to download the MS Word copy of the DS-230 Part I coversheet, but having no luck. When I hit the link below it opens within the browser but it is not readable. I tried everything I can think of and I also tried a right click on the link and a “Save Target As” but again with no luck.

Can some please email me the DS-230 Part I coversheet at dipen_changela@yahoo.com

Many Thanks,

There appears to be something messed up with apache or php or something techie like that right now Here's what you (and others) need to do when downloading until this is fixed:

1) Right click

2) Go to "Save Target As" ("Save Link As" for you firefox cats)

3) CHANGE THE FILENAME to something that ends in .doc for example, coversheet.doc or AoSFeeBill.doc and hit save

4) Open in word (or openoffice.org or abiword)

For whatever reason, right now VJ's server(s) are telling your browser that it's a .php file (which it certainly is not) - specifically index.php. Windows doesn't know what to do with a .php file. It doesn't know that you want to open it with word or anything. I'm guessing when you say "again with no luck", you mean that you're getting some sort of dialog from Win asknig you what in the world you want it to do with a .php file. So when you change the filename to filename.doc, then it says "Hey! This is a word file! I know what to do with this." and happily goes about its merry way. Hope this helps. It worked for me just now. ttyl,

Could can download it here. You should read James's shortcuts. It's in there. Also, you might want to consider sending a note by email once the form has been generated. I did that yesterday and received an email today saying they'd accepted it.

Good luck!

Hi Paul

You dont necessarily have to have the DS-3032 that girl 37 provided the link for (also available in James Shortcuts post #22)....you can use the example email in the first post of this thread and do the choice of agent that way as it is a well tested option now and appears that an original signature or form itself is not necessary. They will then confirm within a couple of days by return email.
